Sewer Line Repair in Olympia: what is different here

Older Olympia homes on the Westside and in South Capitol may have clay or cast iron sewer lines broken by decades of tree roots. We repair a section or replace the whole line, with trenchless options for many repairs. Check with the City of Olympia first. The drive is about 40 minutes south on I-5.

How the job runs

  1. Camera and locate

    We run a camera through the line, find the damage and mark its spot and depth in your yard.
  2. Repair or replace

    We explain if a spot repair will do or if the whole line is failing, and give a flat-rate price.
  3. Do the work

    We dig only where needed, or use trenchless methods when they fit, and replace the damaged pipe.
  4. Test and restore

    We run water and check the line on camera, backfill the hole and clean up the work area.

Sewer Line Repair questions in Olympia

Usually only the public main and treatment. LOTT Clean Water Alliance treats the area's wastewater, while the line from your home out to the main is normally yours to maintain. Ask the City of Olympia where that boundary sits on your lot. Then we can repair or replace your stretch at an upfront, flat-rate price.

Here is what is typical once we are on site. Spot repair of one section: 1 to 2 days. Full side sewer replacement: 2 to 4 days. Olympia is about 40 minutes from our base via I-5 south past Joint Base Lewis-McChord. We confirm timing with you when you book.

Repeat backups, sewage in a floor drain, a soggy or sunken spot in the yard and sewer smells outside are common signs. The surest way to know is a camera inspection. It shows cracks, breaks, roots and sags, and where they are, before you pay for any repair.
